A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the classic algorithm taught in textbooks.
Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer.
Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for any type of network. It thus solves a key question in ...
The firm says it has solved a problem on a quantum processor faster than a classical computer, and is optimistic about future scientific applications.
A novel computer-based algorithm can track the progress of hair loss in patients with various types of alopecia, according to a study. “Hair loss impacts so many people,” Elena Bernardis, PhD, of the department of dermatology at the Perelman School of ...
After 44 years, there’s finally a better way to find approximate solutions to the notoriously difficult traveling salesperson problem. When Nathan Klein started graduate school two years ago, his advisers proposed a modest plan: to work together on one ...
